I purchased the Tracey shoota as I loved the gun model. Noticed I cannot put any upgrades on it? Any reason? As I better off using a big shoota with all the "fixins"? Thanks in advance
They use master crafted stats, they dont allow mods to avoid the P2W argument but honestly I'm sure many people here just want them as skins
Mastercraft can be modded....so is my gun basiclly a fancy, weaker version of a modded mc big shoota? What pro star thought of this?
These devs apparently... The ASC gets a shitty scope and Abbadon Grace gets bonus heat damage so I would say these are better since only they have these mods but the system does suck a lot
I honestly thought they were just skins to begin with, though I did notice that they had "slightly" better stats than the bog standard ones, which is odd given that one of the loading screen tip things claimed they were just "fancy looking", when they clearly aren't.
They'll probably end up regretting this maybe as for the game to move forward [in terms of weapon mods] they would need to be skins or just add customization for them when they add more mods to the pool. Though I can see people complaining that now these weapons have more mods on so it's P2W. The skin ver sounds like the least to ever give backlash though we all know there will be a person screaming I paid for x and you're now taking it away from me.
heh you think that is bad, a few of us, and i do mean a few as only like 400 were ever sold, paid around £20 for limited edition weapons we thought would be skins back when the game was going to be like planetside, i bought the phobos patern bolter, because it looks awesome, and it costs 120 points more than the stock one for 0.02 degrees less recoil and cannot be modded, it is useless, and was replaced and never used after about 2 matches. ALL of the cash shop items should be useable as a skins for the regular items, as frankly, its clear the best designs are all going into the cash shop weapons, which are freaking useless compared to even stock variants, the power swords, axes, plasmas, bolters, shootas, choppas, etc etc they all look fantastic, but are a MASSIVE waste of money, i only own so many as i failed to refund the game after they changed the basic premise and went back on the whole you can refund anytime up to release promise that had me invest WAY to much for it. yeah, im pretty annoyed at the state of the game right now, not played for a while, and tonight the game runs worse and plays far worse than it did in its previous broken state months ago, so its unlikely we will ever see any damn changes for the betterment of the game , not when they think it is fine to charge people £10 to change the colour of their armour (poor eldar - seriously) why would they do something like make their custom weapon models actually appealing ?
Maybe they should just be skins for mastercrafted weapons, occasionally with a single mod that can't be removed (scope, special ammo) but everything else is fair game You could call it Pay To Win but getting a mastercrafted weapon isn't all that hard. And it still sucks in comparison to a regular mastercrafted because it might have 1 unremovable mod
On one of the recent streams I think Nathan said something along the lines that they are debating to allow limited modding of RTC weapons (I´m not 100% sure on this exactly but I´m certain they talked about it)
